Odvisna od področja magistrskega dela; poleg temeljne literature pri predmetih, povezanih s temo magistrskega dela, še znanstveni članki z ustreznega področja; pregledne in specialistične revije po nasvetu mentorja.
Depending on the subject of the master thesis; beside the basic literature for the courses related to the thesis also scientific papers from the field and other expert literature based on the supervisors recommendation.

Objectives:

realisation of experiment or theoretical treatment;
preparation of research results in a form of a master thesis.

Competences:

systematic problem solving related to the chosen subject;
selection of appropriate literature and choice of research methods;
preparation of written report on the prefromed research.

Knowledge and understanding

Understanding of basic physics principles related to the subject of the thesis. Critical evaluation and choice of literature and research methods.

Application
